This guy has some of the best A2A photos I've seen. Some of you may have flown with him since he seems to be pretty popular in this field and has a wide variety of stuff.

You definitely need to report every single one of these tickets on day one if you haven't already. I'm not sure how such a large number will be received but make sure your det knows about them. I don't have experience with tickets and hopefully never will but If they were all dismissed then I wouldn't worry too much, just make sure your cadre know.
EDIT.. This subject or something similar has probably been discussed before, did you search before posting?

Apparently the 47th FS at Barksdale gets to keep their A-10s for at least another year.

A recently disclosed letter sent by U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to lawmakers announced that those A-10s, assigned to the 47th Fighter Squadron of the 917th Fighter group at Barksdale would survive the budget ax through the 2013 fiscal year. -
During our end of the year awards ceremony they must've gave out atleast 20 different scholarships and most of the recipients were POC. They ranged anywhere from $500-&10,000 and the criteria was usually pretty straightforward.Trust me there are plenty of ways to get money from scholarships.

A PDT or base visit is your best bet. I got a ride on a KC-135 during my PDT to Davis-Monthan AFB in 2008. I got to watch them refuel F-16s from the boom station - it was pretty sweet. Also got to watch A-10s strafe targets at the Goldwater Range. Fun stuff!
Also if you're trying to get rides during a PDT make sure you give them atleast 2-3 months notice. My det went to visit Nellis and they tried to schedule us F-15 rides but it wasn't possible due to it being last minute. They said if the paperwork had been put in a few months prior it most likely would've happened. Not saying its guaranteed (it never is) but it definitely helps your chances.
